{"product_id":"an-instrument-for-florenda-second-edition-9798218513450","title":"An Instrument for Florenda Second Edition","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"I liked how the author clearly explained what Florenda's relationships were with the other characters like The Lyles and her friend Lilly. I think these two things will make it easier for younger readers who are starting to read chapter books for the first time not to get confused despite the length of the story being longer than what they are used to reading. I also liked how the book showed that while things may not work out exactly how you want, there are other ways to get to where you want. I think this is an important lesson for young readers. Overall, I think this book is perfect for readers of younger ages who are just starting to read chapter books.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- 12- year-old LitPick Reviewer (5 stars)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003e \"The story is wonderful.
